Wonder Woman is killing it at the box office and raking in critical acclaim left, right and centre. Meanwhile, the Alamo Drafthouse chain of cinemas is garnering both praise and complaints for its decision to host a series of female-only screenings of the movie.

Director Patty Jenkins says she's been overwhelmed by how positive the response to the film has been, and in particular how many women have found it an emotional experience. But she's not entirely convinced by the concept of women-only showings.

Talking to The Frame, she said: "I actually have sort of mixed feelings about all of that only because I do believe in not excluding anyone from anything. And so, on the one hand, I'm so delighted by those screenings and want people to be able to have those screenings.

"On the other hand I can imagine being offended if I'm excluded from those screenings, particularly because Wonder Woman herself has a very, very passionate fan base, many of whom are men.

"And many of whom are men who are disenfranchised from their own gender or their own identity. And I would never want to leave them out of anything, you know?

"I could switch to either side of the argument, but I certainly think it's wonderful... there have not been that many female-skewed things and certainly there have been many, many male. So I celebrate that."
